4. Select a recovery point to restore to the target. If you created a Rescue Agent for the Disaster Recovery virtualization, you can apply any changes made in the VM during the BMR to the production machine by checking the Continuously Mirror box. Then, click Next.

Continuous mirroring requires automatic partitioning to ensure adequate space for incremental changes. You will not be able to select the Manual Partition option in the next step if the Continuously Mirror option is enabled.

In the event that the mirroring process is interrupted by an unexpected crash or a reboot of the production machine, it can automatically resume. If the most recent snapshot the mirroring process captured is unusable because of the crash, the process will take another snapshot, and perform a differential merge between the new snapshot and the last good snapshot to reconcile differences between the two points.

Continuous mirroring does not work with encrypted agents.
